When a ray of light is incident normally...

When a ray of light is incident normally on one refracting surface of an equilateral prism (Refractive index of the material of the prism `=1.5`

A

emerging ray is deviated by `30^(@)`

B

emerging ray is deviated by `45^(@)`

C

emerging ray just grazes the second rerfracting surface

D

the ray undergoes total internal reflection at the second refracting surface

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here, `i_(1)=0=r_(1)`
Therefore, `r_(2)=A=60^(@)`
`theta_(C)=sin^(-1)((1)/(1.5))=41.8^(@)`
`implies r_(2)gttheta_(C)`
